For five years, 1996 through 2000, the Seaford Yacht Club participated in the Hampton Bay Days"Wacky Raft Race". Barry Shrout designed the "rafts", Barry and Joe Mitchell "crewed" the rafts, and multiple Seaford Yacht Club members help construct the rafts. Initial assembly and "sea trials" were normally done at the Seaford Yacht Club docks, but final assemble and "launch" had to be accomplished at the Mill Point Park in Hampton. You may revisit some of the action by viewing the videos.
